Serene Annihilation: The Automaton

Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.

-Profiles of the Future, by Arthur C. Clarke

Born from the dreams of madmen, the Automaton clanks and whirs through the streets of Mordheim. From whence does it come? Some claim a mad dwarf built it, then was slain by it in turn. Some say it is a statue come to life. Some say it is a manifestation of lunatic gods. Some say it is yet another traveler from another realm. None have had time to ask when confronted with the spinning of its deadly black-powder gun.
